In nature, actions and reactions come in Pairings. Pitching
is simply finding a way to manage your action-reaction pairings to bring your
throwing hand through the same productive release window on every pitch.

Action-Reaction pairings are easy to miss.

Everything you see within your motion is both an action and
a reaction. Trying to change your action-reaction pairings without addressing
your foot placements turns into a complete waste of time.

Disruptive Action-Reaction Pairings

Let’s look at how your action-reaction pairings fail to
bring your throwing hand through the same productive release window on every
pitch.

Your foot placements (action)
force you to end your front leg lift with your weight over your back foot
(reaction).

Here’s the good news.

The Pro
Pitching Institute freely
presents the foot placements that’ll bring your throwing hand through a very sustainable
and extremely productive release window. No matter where you live, we
skillfully use on-line communication tools to make you a better pitcher than
you ever dreamed possible.

Your Inner Ear

Anytime your inner ear perceives a forward movement or
senses a gravitational imbalance that jeopardizes your safety, your inner ear
automatically and instantaneously replaces your current movements with the
actions that’ll bring you back in balance.

What you see isn’t what happens

You see a Pitcher moving down the mound. You see the
Pitcher’s arm move. You may think the Pitcher controls his arm movements, but
his arm movements are actually his inner ear response to his body position as
he begins his journey down the mound.

Now that you know the Pitcher’s arm actions are actually
reactions, trying to duplicate a Pitcher’s arm movements as you move down the
mound is a complete waste of your time.

Fooling your inner ear.

Your inner ear uses your arms to offset any front-to-back or
back-to-front movements, but fails to recognize rotation as a threat to your
safety. Consequently, when you rotate down the mound, your inner ear keeps your
throwing arm free to response to your lower body.

In fact, when you rotate down the mound and land your foot
plant, your inner ear senses your horizontal and vertical misalignments and, to
get your back in balance, forces you to whip your back arm forward and across
your body.

Your inner ear keeps you safe by forcing you to make a
throwing action.Your inner ear uses
your throwing arm to regain both your horizontal and vertical orientations.

Spontaneous Command

Because your inner ear is hard-wired to respond to the same
conditions in the same way, the throwing action your inner ear creates at foot
plant brings your arm through the same tiny release window on every pitch and,
at the same time, shows your opponent the same arm speed on every pitch.

By using your inner ear to produce your results, you
experience sustainable Cy Young-like results every Team wants to have on the
mound.

Here’s the good news.

Pitching Instituteteaches
you how to control your inner ear responses. No matter where you live, we
skillfully use on-line communication tools to make you a better pitcher than
you ever dreamed possible.

Is your pitching built on assumptions?

When little is known, much is assumed. As soon as you fall
into the trap where assumptions are treated as fact, you never really know
where any one pitch will end up.

When assumptive learning is all you know, you rightfully believe your
assumptions are fact, but, when you try to explain why you miss your target as
often as you do, assumptive learning falls apart.

Assumptive learning draws attention to what you don’t know, what you’re uncertain
about and what you sense is missing. Because solutions have yet to emerge, you
turn your usual assumptions into possible solutions.

With assumptions, your pitching future goes no further than your next
pitch and, because your next pitch is still based upon the same tired
assumptions, you never notice any sustainable improvement.

Instead, use gravity as the basis to test and question your
assumptions. Your testing and questioning systematically turns your assumptions
into statistically-backed knowledge.

Turn assumptions into
knowledge.

A gravity-driven line of attack imposes disciplines
different from and more focused than the undisciplined assumptive approach you’re
used to. As soon as you synchronize your well-intentioned assumptions to the
way gravity impacts your delivery, you significantly reduce the frequency of pitches
missing your target.

Failure essentially comes from an assumptive approach, but failure is avoided
when you analyze how your gravitational prompts impact your results.

Here’s the good news.

By following the back
foot orientations, foot placements and core activation routines outlined at the
Pro Pitching Institute, you
experience instantaneous improvement, meaningful reasons for every unacceptable
outcome and a plan that’ll systematically bring your worst misses closer to
your target.

Natural reactions breed pitching brilliance

As a natural reaction to gravity needing your throwing arm
to make a throwing action, gravity …

Brings your throwing hand through
the same tiny release window on every pitch,

Whips your throwing arm into
release,

Produces later ball movement than
usual and

No matter the grip, always shows
every hitter a fastball arm speed.

By centering your weight between your knees at the top of
your front leg lift, superior pitching results become very achievable and,
better yet, extremely repeatable.

Here’s the good news.

By following the back
foot orientations, foot placements and core activation routines outlined at the
Pro Pitching Institute, your natural
reactions are guaranteed to promote superior pitching results.
